OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

Overview

Obstetrics deals with pregnancy and its complications. Gynecology deals with all conditions relating to the female reproductive system.

The obstetrics division aims at “a natural /physiological birth where the baby is delivered vaginally following a labour which has not been altered by technological interventions”. However if there are any factors complicating the natural childbirth the department has a well-qualified dedicated team and resources that ensure maternal and fetal well-being.

The Gynaecology division aims at providing up-to-date, modern and evidence based care to the needy with specific gynecological problems. Establishment of specialized Infertility Clinic and Genetics Lab are in the pipeline.
